Extensive remote control with the integrated Remote Management Controller
The ServerView integrated Remote Manage- ment Controller iRMC S3 enables extensive control of Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers regardless of their system status – even in out-of-band operation. It integrates remote management functionality with the basic system manage- ment functions on a chip on the motherboard.
The iRMC S3 gives administrators or service technicians access to the server for extensive control, even at decentralized locations. In the event of server problems, routine tasks and maintenance can be carried out efficiently.
The iRMC S3 is based on its successful predecessor iRMC S2 and provides additional
The iRMC S3 is an autonomous system on the motherboard of a Fujitsu PRIMERGY system. It has its own operating system, web server, user administration and alarm management and it is also supplied with power when the server is in standby mode. Communication is carried out via a LAN connection, which can be shared with the Fujitsu PRIMERGY system or used functionality. With iRMC S3 the overall system performance can be monitored. Thereby operating system independent control of power consumption is possible. By means of the Customer Self Service (CSS) concept for certain server components customers can do service on their own. exclusively for system management.
The iRMC S3 forwards the signals from the keyboard, monitor and mouse digitally over the network. Apart from all free standard functions, an iRMC S3 advanced pack can be purchased enabling graphical console redirection - Advanced Video Redirection (AVR)
- and the use of remote storage via USB.

iRMC S3 - Hardware for Remote Management
Remote configuration and maintenance minimize time-consuming and cost-intensive call-outs.
The iRMC S3 permits system control, diagnosis, configuration and server restarting by remote access via the integrated web interface – even if the operating system or hardware fails. Errors can be analyzed and often also rectified right away. The system administrator is notified by email or SMS. The iRMC S3 offers access to remote storage resources (floppy disk, memory stick, CD/DVD, ISO image) via USB.
Genuine headless system operation without a local mouse and keyboard is supported.
The iRMC S3 communicates directly via I
2
C with the hardware sensors, such as in fans. With introduction of the Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX200 S7 rack server the iRMC S3 has been enabled for the first time to monitor the internal hard disk drives (HDD) in out-of-band operation. But not only remote management tasks are performed by the iRMC S3, also the functions of a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) are performed. It is thus able to take over functions such as power management or reading the System Error and Event Log (SEL) regardless of the system status.
The iRMC S3 offers enhanced security functions, including 128-bit SSL encryption and efficient user authentication to ensure maximum security. iRMC S3 – integrated Remote Management Controller

Browser Access
The iRMC S3 has its own web server, which can be accessed from the management station with a standard web browser. All sensor information, such as fan speeds, voltages, etc., and the complete configuration of the iRMC S3 are made available to administrators via the web user interface.
ServerView Operation Manager Integration
The ServerView agents detect the iRMC S3 and automatically assign it to the server in question. Text console redirection via the Remote
Management web user interface and the web interface can be started directly from ServerView Operations Manager.
Security (SSL, SSH)
Access to the web server and the optional graphical console redirection, including the mouse and keyboard, can be protected by HTTPS/SSL
(128-bit). Incorrect logins will be logged. To enable access to iRMC S3 via the Remote Manager cryptographically secured communication can be established, which is protected by the SSH mechanisms. The
Remote Manager is an alphanumerical user interface of the iRMC S3.
Power Management
Regardless of the system status, the following options for switching on/off the server from a remote workplace are provided:
via the iRMC S3 web interface
via the Power Control menu of the AVR window
via the Remote Manager and the command line interface (CLI)
per script
In this way, the server can be powered on, a power cycle can be initiated or the server can be gracefully shut down or shut down instantly (power button override), e.g. if the operating system no longer responds. In addition, an immediate or graceful reset (reboot) can be initiated.

Power Consumption Monitoring
To monitor system power consumption via the web interface several reports are provided. You can choose between reports for a single day, for a month or a year. Please note that Power Consumption Monitoring is not supported by all power supplies.
Identification LED
The Identification LED of the managed system can be switched on via the iRMC S3 web interface to identify the system, for example in a fully configured rack.
Power Consumption Control
Besides power monitoring also an operating system independent power consumption control is possible. The following operating states are selectable:
Minimal Power Consumption: The CPU works always at lowest frequency and voltage
Power Limit: Restricts the max. power consumption of the server
Best Performance: Whole frequency and voltage bandwidth is available and can be selected by the operating system.
Schedule: Allows switching between the above mode-depending on day of the week and time.
Low Noise: iRMC S3 controls the server to achieve the lowest possible noise emission.
(These settings are CPU specific and are not available for all CPU types and Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers)
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The iRMC S3 not only supports the Remote Manager, but also the
SMASH CLP (System Management Architecture for Server Hardware
Command Line Protocol) standardized by the DMTF (Distributed
Management Task Force).
Simple Configuration – interactive or scripted
The following tools are available to configure the iRMC S3:
iRMC S3 web interface
WinSCU
BIOS Setup
Scripted configuration via WinSCU or IPMIVIEW is also possible. In this way, the iRMC S3 can also be configured during initial setup of the server with ServerView Installation Manager. Scripting is also possible to configure a large number of servers simultaneously.
Text Console Redirection
A Telnet session can be initiated on the iRMC S3 via the Remote
Management web front-end. The Remote Manager is then called, by means of which text console redirection can be started, power management carried out, the error event log read or sensor information queried. Beside Telnet there is SOL (serial over LAN) and
SSH (secure Shell) supported.
Local User Management
The iRMC S3 has its own user management system, in which up to 16 users with passwords can be created and granted different rights, depending on the group to which they belong.
User Management via Directory Service
The protocol used is LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) or secure LDAP. The directory services Active Directory, openLDAP and eDirectory are supported. Therewith users can be managed centrally and have not to be managed via the iRMC S3.
Headless System Operation
A keyboard, monitor and mouse are not required on the managed server. As a result, costs are reduced, cabling in the rack is simplified considerably and security is increased. Connection speed is optimized to the line bandwidth available.
LAN
In most Fujitsu PRIMERGY systems one LAN interface of the built-in NIC
(network interface card) is reserved for the management LAN. In the remaining systems the LAN interface can be configured optionally for
exclusive use by the management LAN
shared operation with the system
exclusive use by the system.
The management LAN interface of the system NIC is indicated by a wrench icon – it supports IPv4 and IPv6.
DNS / DHCP
The iRMC S3 supports automatic network configuration. It has a default name and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is enabled so that iRMC S3 obtains its IP address from the DHCP server (in IPv4 only).
The iRMC S3 name is registered with the Domain Name Service (DNS).
Up to 5 DNS servers are supported. If no DNS/DHCP is available, static
IP addresses are supported.
Online Firmware Update
The iRMC S3’s firmware can be updated online since there are two independent images of the firmware on the motherboard. In case an error occurs during flashing, the redundant module can always be used as a backup (Secure Flash).

Power Supply
Power to iRMC S3 is provided from the Fujitsu PRIMERGY system’s internal standby power supply.
Alarm Management
The iRMC S3’s alarm management system offers the following possibilities for alarm forwarding (alerting):
Platform Event Traps (PETs) are sent via SNMP
Direct notification by e-mail
If the Fujitsu PRIMERGY systems provides a serial interface a modem can be connected for sending alerts (e.g. by SMS to a mobile phone).
In addition, the iRMC S3 supplies the ServerView agents with all relevant information.
Optional components
The following components provide information on the system state directly at the server. Please note that these optional components are not available for all Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and their usage also depends on the system’s configuration.
ServerView Local Service Display (LSD)
The LSD is a LC-Display with 2x20 characters and a four-way navigation key. Among others error messages, Customer Self Service (CSS) information or system information can be retrieved via several information pages.
Reading and Editing the System Error and Event Log (SEL)
The contents of the SEL can be viewed and deleted
via the iRMC S3 web interface or
via the Telnet-based interface (Remote Manager) of the iRMC S3.
The SEL can be stored locally via the web interface.
Customer Self Service (CSS)
Not all components of a Fujitsu PRIMERGY server have to be replaced by Service. There are components you can replace on your own. These components are marked in the iRMC S3 web interface. This information is provided in ServerView Operations Manager as well. Additionally, a link is provided for easy purchasing of new CSS components.
ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP)
The LSP is a display providing information on component states. In addition via LEDs information is provided which components you can replace on your own. The LSP is built into the front of the Fujitsu
PRIMERGY system.
